After an afternoon stroll at Descanso gardens, my wife and I came across Berge's threshold. It is a delightfully immersive experience to a genuine sandwich shop. It was fantastic throwback when ordering a Reuben Sandwich was without regret or avocado. The bread was crispy and thick enough to not fall apart in to a soggy mess. The high quality ingredients including the corned beef because pastrami isn't in a Reuben, that is another sandwich, was heartwarming. We also took an Italian hero to go which was equally impressive. I would go back to Descanso gardens in the spring and endure an allergic event so I could go back for another sandwich. Bravo! read more

Berge's - Turkey Avocado - Delis Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

We've driven passed Berges several times and I had a hunch that it would be good. It has that old established neighborhood deli feel. I'm so glad we decided to come in and give it a try. We ordered a turkey and avocado sandwich and a hot pastrami sandwich. The turkey was stacked high with a generous amount of avocado. And the pastrami was high quality, served on toasted rye and was absolutely delicious!! We will be visiting again soon!! It seems their prices are reasonable compared to other places. read more

Great food!! Great service! Would recommend stopping in, if toys re in the area. Also very reasonably priced.

Great little sandwich place with friendly people and tasty food. The tomato soup is a popular item and unique in flavors.

Good sandwiches and soup! The pastrami is lean so I don't feel too guilty. I will definitely come back read more

Been going here since the early 90 s with the same guy remembering what I eat and making my sandwich, then he moved to the register and trained the next guy to do it. I love this place. You will too. read more

Sandwiches are good and the staff works fast. It has an old school mom and pops charm which i love.

This place is perfect if you are craving a classic deli sandwich for a good price. They have an option for everyone including salads, soups, sweets, meatless sandwiches, cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, and deli sandwiches. This place has everything yet everything is so simple!! This sandwich shop feels like you're in a movie as well from the wood paneled walls, retro decor, and it is so clean. Their stock for their sodas, produce, etc is laid out on the ground near the register which is such a sweet and almost un-ironic touch if that's even a word. There were three people working in the restaurant this day. The prep worker, the cook, and the owner of the restaurant. Everyone was so sweet, happy, and attentive. No complaints on any fronts! I put 4 stars for the restaurant because it wasn't the most beautiful and best sandwich I have ever had, BUT I appreciated everything else about it!!! Would definitely come here again and again and have already recommended it to friends who live in the area. read more

Best service ever!! Love berges! Most get tomato soup and grilled cheese or classic turkey avocado is so delish!

Grabbed some sandwiches to go before heading to Descanso Garden. The sandwiches were fresh and delicious. Pickle was addicting. Tomato bisque was tart and sweet. My favorite was the Italian sub with everything. Really enjoyed the sauce and meat! read more

Food is fantastic. The tomato bisque soup was to die for! Great tuna melt. Small clean deli with friendly staff.

I hiked Mount Wilson a couple weeks ago and decided to stop by this bookmarked spot for late lunch/early dinner. My date and I were in the mood for pastrami sandwiches. We walked into this cozy, wood paneled sandwich shop and were greeted by the owner and one of his employees. We talked to the owner for a while about the quality of the food and the processes to make different sandwiches/plates, and eventually my date was talked into trying the tuna melt sandwich instead. After more conversation about the history of the place and their past location, the owner asked if I wanted a pickle or pepperoncinis, and when I said pickle he said "well you're getting both." I'm glad he let me have both, because I would have missed out! The peppers were spicier here than I've had elsewhere, so maybe they pickle their own veggies? Anyway, the pastrami sandwich was absolutely delicious. You MUST try it the way it comes...with the mustard and rye bread. You don't *have* to, but I recommend you do. My date ended up trying some of mine and wishing he ordered that instead, but he said the tuna melt was very good...for a tuna melt lol. I don't like them so I didn't try it. Because of the price, food quality, and customer service, I definitely recommend this place if you're nearby and are craving a thicc roast beef or pastrami sandwich (and likely some nice conversation). read more

The food is always delicious! I recently moved to this city and found this place while driving by. The atmosphere is chill and I enjoy the throwback look of the place. The service is always friendly and the lady that has her own table there is very sweet. I'm a tatted up gentlemen and most of the time people her age aren't too fond of my type but she didn't judge and is very friendly. My daughter loved the food as well. definitely going to keep coming back. read more

I was told that this family-owned sandwich shop has been around for over 50 years!! I had their meatball sandwich, while my bf got their specialty "submarine". We shared their infamous tomato soup that comes with bread for dipping. Let me just tell ya, the tomato soup was out of this world!! I've never had tomato bisque that has chunks of tomatoes and onions. The sandwiches were substantial and made me full until the next day, and was just what we needed after a hot afternoon of hiking! You can tell the establishment prides itself of giving quality food and service, as I observed Mama Berge's ensuring her staff to pay attention to details. Although this is out of the way for me from where I live, but it's nice to know there are small businesses that have been supported by locals for many decades to come. read more

Very friendly staff. I came in here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and ordered a tomato garlic bisque and a grilled roast beef sandwich. The roast beef was superb! I don't know what it was, but it was super flavorful without being salty or too moist or too dry. The soup was just okay. I wouldn't consider it to be a bisque, as it had a plethora of veggie chunks on it. It wasn't anything I'd order again. But I'd definitely come back for the sandwiches. read more

Old school sandwich shop, family-owned and operated since 1972. I came here for the staples - The Turkey and Avocado Sandwich and the Tomato Bisque. Both were great (and the Bisque comes with Armenian Bread for dipping). The service was friendly and I was in & out in no time! Berge's - good food and good service. That's all that matters. read more

Had a great avocado and cheese sandwich. The prices are good, the staff were friendly, and they have a few vegetarian options.

I have been having sandwiches from this place for 35 years. The service is always pleasant. The sandwiches are always good. They have a phenomenal Armenian bread that they make their sandwiches on and don't forget to get the pickles that they provide. read more

Yummy tomato bisque! The sandwiches are excellent! This place is an LC staple! The only bad thing is their hours but food wise it's great!

The sandwiches are delish and definitely don't sleep on the tomato soup! Portions are perfect even though prices feel a little high. read more

Berge's is a local institution. The soup (tomato bisque is my go-to) is outstanding. It's creamy without being heavy, and the creaminess balances out the acidity of the tomato. It feels like comfort food and really hits the spot on rainy days or cold nights. The sandwiches are perfect. My usual gripe with sandwiches is that they're light on protein and you end up with a mouthful of bread. Not here! They are not stingy with meat, so the flavors really mesh as opposed to being overpowered by boring ol' flour. Best of all, it's still a local, family-owned business. It feels good to support them! read more

Um..I haven't done more then just look at the lunch goodies in my box I ordered to go and I'm already ready to write a review. First of all- you know you can never go wrong with a "hole in the wall" spot, if you will. Extremely friendly, everyone in there looked so happy including the workers- I almost grabbed a table instead to experience this more. The food smells and looks incredible, decent portions, and MYYYY golly you can NOT beat the price. I am so glad I had to wait out traffic in this area because this spot needs to be known about. I will 100% be returning whether I'm in the area or not. Got the tomato soup as everyone seemed to rave about it (comes with a piece of incredible bread), mac salad, and the submarine with all the extra fixins. I got chips too and it came with pickles (I'm starved okay haha I almost grabbed a cookie they were big and soft omg I should have). All at 20 bucks. Thank you Berges!!!!!! read more

Great sandwiches! I've come here for years and you can't go wrong with anything. Turkey avocado is great, roast beef with cream cheese and olives is a superior unexpected surprise of flavor. Also, the pastrami on rye is great on a cold day. The tomato bisque is on point as well for a cold day in a delicious wonderland. read more

Pastrami Sandwich was amazing bread was so fresh! Very much made with Love. The Reuben was also amazing and I loved the thousand island sauce on it! read more

I love Berge's! Comfort food and interesting options. Great sandwiches, great family and great for take-out. Feels like home.

food is adequate but the owner / nighttime order taker is beyond obnoxious. Instead if listening to your order he interrupts and says "you must not come here" ... "we don't have mediums it must be a regular." Hope you don't want to tell him what you want on the sandwich because he will tell you what's on it. Here's a tip - skip the comedy act and pretend your customer is paying for the food and act like you respect that. We will never repeat. read more

My son always eats the food here and eats well. At other restaurants, he'll just eat rice. It's got them in some thing. Obviously the owner is a great pleasure to do business with as well and the place is always clean and peaceful! read more

Everyone who works here makes you feel like you're family. They gave us a huge sample of the tomato bisque which was so good while we waited for our food. The sandwiches were amazing, the pickle , the ambiance...looooove this hometown feeling spot. Like one of the last great mom and pop shops in LA. I swear though- if a bunch of hipsters come here and blow it out on tik tok heads will roll... read more

Another work day, another day to decide where to eat for lunch. Working in Montrose doesn't give us a lot of options, which is why I was skeptical of this place. It's small and you almost don't notice it when you're driving down the street. It's paired with a restaurant next door as well. Immediately when you walk in, you get really homey vibes. The wooden walls, the various fridges, the boxes and boxes of soda lined up against the wall, and the chairs and tables are reminiscent of an old, homey, cabin home. There are pictures up on the wall as well as an older woman who uses one of the front tables as her personal desk (love her!). We went up to order as first-timers. I got the roast beef dip & my boss got an extra large sandwich (I honestly forgot which one he got). They asked if we wanted the pickles - of course, we said yes. The cashier was SO sweet, and so nice, and joked around with us before letting us know that our order will be right out. We sat down and waited and to our surprise, the place filled up. Soon, all the tables and chairs were filled & people had to stand in order to wait for their food. It was a bit of a wait (there were a LOT of people coming in) but the cashier came around and personally handed us our sandwiches, which I thought was a nice touch. He sent us off with a smile and wave. Back at the office, we both opened our sandwiches and to my surprise, the sandwiches were BIG. My boss ordered the extra large so his sandwich could have easily been shared between three different people. He ended up finishing one half of the sandwich and saving the other half for later. My roast beef dip was amazing. I was disappointed that I had forgotten to ask for cheese with it - I will definitely not make that mistake next time. The bread underneath was unfortunately super soggy, but make no mistake: it was absolutely delicious. The roast beef was soft and juicy, and this was BEFORE I dipped it in the consomme that they gave me. My boss thoroughly enjoyed his sandwich as well. After we finished lunch, we agreed that we would be regular at this place from now on! read more

Summary: great sandwich shop ... no bells or whistles and I don't even remember seeing a hood in the kitchen but it works! Great sandwiches!! We ordered 2 sandwiches: Tuna melt and a grilled cheese sandwich with tomatoes . Really delicious! Hard to go wrong with the press but they nailed it! Prices are reasonable and lots of parking spots! Service: not much interaction but that's okay given the ambiance! Older lady in the back with a younger man working the counter.... again, not much interaction with the team but it works!!! Conclusion: for what we ordered, wonderful. If you are in the area, call ahead and pick up a sandwich... read more
